Of these elements, only the time contributed by the printer’s paper-marking speed
(the time it takes the printer to put the ink on the paper once it has received the
processed image) is predictable; the others can vary greatly depending on your
system configuration and the type of image you are printing. However, the printer
printer’s PostScript interpreter combines very fast image processing and
communication with sophisticated memory management to keep the total print time
to a minimum.
The printer’s optimum image processing throughput via a dedicated Ethernet
connection is about 200 Kbytes per second. Actual throughput will generally be
somewhat slower than this, depending on network traffic, image complexity, color
correction, and memory configuration. For details on the printer’s paper-marking
speed, see
